Mentorship Program

Why is Mentorship Important?

Mentorship is a powerful way to develop talent, strengthen professional relationships, and support the long-term success of our industry. It brings together experienced and emerging professionals to share knowledge, build connections, and foster growth.

Through a combination of one-on-one mentorship, leadership development, networking opportunities, and industry engagement, participants gain valuable insights, meaningful relationships, and practical skills that support their ongoing professional development.

Mentorship Program Overview

BOMA Calgary's Mentorship Program provides a proven framework that supports meaningful development for both Mentors and Protégés.

Building on the success of past cohorts, the program combines one-on-one mentorship with several facilitated learning sessions, networking opportunities, industry experiences, and practical development tools.
